Cookie Policy

Introduction

Plentyoffish is committed to protecting your privacy. We aim to provide
trustworthy, industry-leading products and services so that you can focus on building meaningful
connections. Our approach to privacy is to provide you with clear information about our data
practices. That's why we've tried to keep legal and technical jargon to a minimum.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies are placed on your device
when you visit our website and how we use them.

This Cookie Policy does not address how we deal with your personal information generally. To
learn more about how we process your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy here.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your device's
memory. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the
cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated
unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your device,
such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our services.

Are there different types of cookies?

First-party and third-party cookies

There are first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed on your
device directly by us. For example, we use first-party cookies to adapt our website to your
browser's language preferences and to better understand your use of our website. Third-party
cookies are placed on your device by our partners and service providers. For example, we use
third-party cookies to measure user numbers on our website or to enable you to share content
with others across social media platforms.

Session and persistent cookies

There are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only last until you close your
browser. We use session cookies for a variety of reasons, including to learn more about your use
of our website during one single browser session and to help you to use our website more
efficiently. Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and aren't automatically deleted when you
close your browser. These types of cookies are primarily used to help you quickly sign-in to our
website again and for analytical purposes.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Other technologies such as web beacons (also calls pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs or
software development kits (SDKs) are used for similar purposes. Web beacons are tiny graphics
files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our
service or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. Tracking URLs are custom generated links
that help us understand where the traffic to our webpages comes from. SDKs are small pieces of
code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons.

For simplicity, we also refer to these technologies as "cookies" in this Cookie Policy.

What do we use cookies for?

Like most providers of online services, we use cookies to provide, secure and improve our
services, including by remembering your preferences, recognizing you when you visit our
website and personalizing and tailoring ads to your interests. To accomplish these purposes, we
also may link information from cookies with other personal information we hold about you.
When you visit our website, some or all of the following types of cookies may be set on your
device.

services available through our website and to use some of
its features, such as access to secure areas.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how our website is being
used, how effective marketing campaigns are, and help us
customize and improve our websites for you.

Advertising cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more
relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the
same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads
are properly displayed for advertisers, selecting
advertisements that are based on your interests and
measuring the number of ads displayed and their
performance, such as how many people clicked on a given
ad.

Social networking cookies

These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and
content that you find interesting on our website through
third-party social networking and other websites. These
cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too.

How can you control cookies?

There are several cookie management options available to you. Please note that changes you make to your cookie
preferences may make browsing our website a less satisfying experience. In some cases, you may even
find yourself unable to use all or part of our site.

Browser and devices controls

Some web browsers provide settings that allow you to control or reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is
placed on your computer. The procedure for managing cookies is slightly different for each internet browser.
You can check the specific steps in your particular browser help menu.

You also may be able to reset device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your
mobile device. The procedure for managing device identifiers is slightly different for each
device. You can check the specific steps in the help or settings menu of your particular device.

Opting out does not mean you will not see advertising - it means you won't see personalized
advertising from the companies that participate in the opt-out programs. Also, if you delete
cookies on your device after you opted out, you will need to opt-out again.

Social Cookies

To allow you to share content on social media, some features of this website use social media
plug-ins (e.g., Twitter™ "Share to Twitter" or LinkedIn™ "in" buttons). Depending on your
social media account settings, we automatically receive information from the social media
platform when you use the corresponding button on our website.

Adobe Flash Player™ Flash cookies

Adobe Flash Player™ is an application for viewing and interacting with dynamic content using
the Flash platform. Flash (and similar applications) use a technology akin to cookies to
memorize parameters, preferences and uses of this content. However, Adobe Flash Player
manages this information and your choices via an interface separate from that supplied by your
